LH Wins 'Best Project' at Smart City Asia-Pacific Awards

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 8th that it, together with the Administrative City Construction Agency and Sejong Special Self-Governing City, won the Best Project award in the Public Safety and Smart Policing category at the Smart City Asia Pacific Awards (SCAPA).

Now in its 6th year, the Smart City Asia Pacific Awards use analysis methods from IDC, the world's leading information technology (IT) market research firm, to select the most outstanding government, public, and private sector projects in the smart city field, holding international prestige.

This year, excluding Japan, 19 awardees were selected and announced across 14 categories targeting the Asia-Pacific region.

LH was selected as the Best Project for Sejong Happy City’s "Platform-Based Crime Safety City Service."

The project was highly evaluated for establishing systems utilizing digital technology and data such as ▲crime prevention (safe walking route guidance), ▲crime monitoring (facial recognition), and ▲crime response (linked with 112 and 119 emergency services), providing citizens with a safe living environment.

In 2018, LH became the first in the world to acquire the Smart City International Certification Standard (ISO37106) for Sejong Smart City, and last December, it won the grand prize in the digital innovation category at the World Smart City Awards held in Barcelona.

Shin Gwangho, Director of LH Smart City Development Division, explained, "We expect that winning the Smart City Asia Pacific Award will enhance the status of LH Smart City and greatly contribute to the export of smart cities overseas."
